Pork in pastry with a special twist!

Method

Take off all sinew and silverskin from fillet tenderloin of pork. Seal in very hot pan with oil and butter.

Leave to cool. Meanwhile make the mushroom duxelle by sweating off chopped shallots. Add very finely chopped mushrooms and white wine. Cook down until mushrooms are fully cooked and dry. Allow to cool.

Roll out puff pastry into an oblong the size of the pork fillet. Spread on duxelle mixture; roll up pork and seal, egg wash. Bake in moderate oven (Gas. 3-4: 300-400F) for 25-30 minutes.
